Frames & Foundation

National brood frames and super frames are an essential part of any beekeeping setup. They provide a structure for the bees to build comb and store honey and other resources. The frames can come either flat-pack or fully assembled, depending on the preference of the beekeeper. The flat-pack option is usually more affordable, while the assembled frames are ready to use right away.

Wired and unwired foundation refers to the type of base that the comb is built on. Wired foundation has a wire running through it, which provides support for the comb and helps it retain its shape. Unwired foundation does not have this wire and is typically used in conjunction with starter strips, which the bees can use to start building their comb. The choice between wired and unwired foundation will depend on the beekeeper's preference and the type of honey production they are undertaking.
